For months, earthquakes have rattled the state of Arkansas. The swarm has now produced 1,000 earthquakes since September 2010 through July 2011--and even more since.

The quakes have been centered between Guy and Greenbrier. It has become so concerning to officials that the Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission ordered four gas wells to be shut down. Geologists blamed hydraulic fracturing for the tremors in the area. But now, ten miles north of Guy, shaking is continuing..

According to a report in the Arkansas Democrat GAZETTE, some worry now that tension is building beneath the surface of the earth in the state. Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey, said that the situation 'bears watching.' He told the DEMOCRAT GAZETTE, "I'm not saying that's what it is. I don't want to scare people and I don't want to say it's going to happen. It's just something we're looking at."

The Arkansas paper goes on to report:

The continuing shaking could also be related to ongoing drilling activity about 8 miles outside of Quitman, Ausbrooks said, though he noted that's a significant distance. Or it might be tied somehow to the plugging of one of those four shuttered wells.

Ausbrooks said he couldn't preliminarily pinpoint how the plugging of a well would induce quakes, but the shaking in Quitman started just days after the northernmost of the four closed wells was plugged.

"Right now, we'll just say it's a coincidence," he said.

Gas extraction the key?The blame?The culprit? Or is there something larger taking place? Something more concerning..

Friday into Saturday have brought six more earthquakes in the area.

The rattled nerves Arkansas towns rattled by earthquakes will not enjoy any form of solace in the thought that 'it's a coincidence.' But at least it's a hope. A hope that nothing larger is forming under the feet of the tiny towns that have been shaken now for years.

This image taken by Jessica Rinaldi of Reuters shows workers in New York City clearing a sidewalk--a sidewalk decorated for Halloween 2011..

The Northeast United States, including the big cities along the I95 corridor, had a rare early season snowstorm today--dumping about a foot of snow in certain places. Thousands are without power Saturday night in the wake of the event..

EarthInformer headquarters was hit, too.. Pumpkins are covered. Ground is white. And it looks a lot more like Christmas than the season of the witch.

People in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey woke up to delightful sunshine and cool Pre-Halloween breezes.. Tomorrow portends to be a stark reminder, however, of winter months to come.

Forecasts models are seemingly all converging on the idea the there is a winter storm brewing and will strike parts of the Northeast Saturday. In some cases, there are 6-10 inches of snow expected..

Even if travel troubles are at a minimum, the prospect remains for downed trees and power outages. Leaves are still on trees..JackOLanterns are still lit. And throngs of people are ready to wear it all to bear it all at Halloween parties at bars across the region. .

As the population of the planet gets ready to top 7 billion by Halloween, and maybe 10 billion some time in the near future, the feces will hit the fan. The problem of human waste is already an issue of health and safety, but the prospect of more passed movements on the planet earth comes with an additional weighty conundrum. What to do with all the excrement?

Toilets and even outhouses aren't everywhere. Doing business in a bush is still a popular way to leave out waste. In the end, hygiene education will be the key to survival. It's either learning to move the right way or moving away from the movements.

Recent news has broken of the CIA and FBI working closely with NYPD officials on the monitoring and tracking of citizens.. Like other NYPD intelligence programs created in the past decade, this new one of keeping a listing of Muslims who change names involved monitoring behavior protected by the First Amendment...

The most recent news was published by the Associated Press. The AP report says this other piece of information in its runs of the story:

'Early on, police added people with American names to the list so that if details of the program ever leaked out, the department would not be accused of profiling, according to one person briefed on the program'

The new AP info doesn't leave much of a question on profiling given the circumstances of the allegations.

It's not typical at all to see Northern Lights traveling as far South as Nevada, Texas, and Arizona.. but on the night of the 24th of October, a big blast off of the sun was able to cause just that: An amazing spectacle. The Northern Lights, a geomagnetic event, all the way in the South.. lands and skies not used to beautiful aurora moments..

The ejection hit Earth's magnetic field on Monday. At 2pm ET the lights began to interract with the sun. At night, the skies lit up with beautiful shades of blue, green, and red, across the United States of America. It was one of the stronger and more intense light shows ever seen in recent memory.

Suddenly freedom in Libya after Qaddafi's death. . . oh, and "Islamic Sharia law would be the “basic source” of legislation and existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified".. Good luck with that, formerly free women of Libya!

This news as questions are being raised about Mummar Qaddafi's grisly death in Libya last week..Are the militias that the United States supported, the same who mutilated Qaddafi's body until he was dead, able to lead? be fair? ...we know from their recent comments they know how to strictly enforce Sharia law. But what did the United States and the world get in this new bargain?

"In Benghazi, on the main square where it all started, they were slaughtering camels in celebration. There they sat, eight of them, feet tied so they could not move, quivering with fear as they were beheaded one by one. As soldiers fired rifles in the air, members of the cheering crowd held up the severed heads as trophies. They daubed their hands in the camel-blood, and gave the V-for-victory sign with dripping fingers. But away from the square, the birthplace of the revolution was not in party mood. The streets were fairly quiet. And in the cafes, people were watching TV pictures – more graphic than any shown in Britain – of a bloodied Gaddafi dragged along and beaten, feebly protesting, before a gun was put to his head. The picture then cut to the dead ex-leader being rolled onto the pavement, blood pooling from the back of his skull."

But minus away the oddity of his tortuous death, Qaddafi's regime was filled with its own bloody torture.. his 42 years of rule were filled with murder and terror. Perhaps that is why, in the end, his death became a strange odyssey.. one filled with blood, guts, gore, and more.

The newest ruler of Libya, interim prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, said that Qaddafi was killed in a 'crossfire,' while it would seem every piece of video evidence contradicts his statement. Now the country is mired in a new debate about how exactly Mr. Qaddafi's torn up remains should be dealt with..

The new leadership in Libya will be fascinating to watch. The EU and NATO didn't want to address the issue of Sharia law. A NATO official said it the Libyans can now decide on the system in their own country.

The skeletal remains of a Roman-era couple have been unearthed.. revealed now, they held their hands, in death, for about 1,500 years.

According to Italian archaeologists, the man and woman were buried at the same time between the 5th and 6th century A.D. in central-northern Italy. The woman is positioned so she appears to be gazing at her male partner...

The discovery of the eternal love was made in Modena during construction--it was 23 feet below earth's surface..

What did this burial mean? ...the love of lives, dead at the same time, buried together... until now, when this modern generation unearthed the bones and wondered: Why does this all mean. True love? Cue MHZ 528... I need to be grounded.

The prince was in his 80s. While not the typical fairytale age of aprince, Abdul-Aziz died undergoing a treatment in New York City.

The clarity of succession is now in question. And women! Can women drove under a new ruler? ...Vote? .. breathe? ..

Newspapers all across the world showing the bloody corpse of the formerly living Moummar Qaddafi, killed yesterday reportedly in his hometown.. Blood. Guts. Gore. It's Halloween, so why not.

BLOODY QADDAFI

But the showcase of the macabre is fascinating. Are world citizens only going to now believe the good word of a government if a gruesome showcasing of the killing occurs? And if that is the train of logic you're boarding, how did we kiss away the chance to show Osama bin Laden's blasted away head?

We are playing a new game in the war on terror. From your TSA inspected street corner all the way to the busiest airport, the world has changed. Look no further to pop culture gore, entertainment whores, and political bores.

On 24, you can see the enemy disemboweled. And at Walmart you can see Big Sis tell you not to trust your cashier, your neighbor, or yourself.

The strange new web we weave..

So pick up your local paper today. It will be a collector's item. And it won't even matter if you drip ketchup on it either.

A very disturbing story from China: A hit and run was basically ignored.. The video is obviously disturbing. It shows a 2-year-old girl who was run over by a van that then drove off, leaving her bleeding on the street. And for seven minutes, she was ignored.. Lots of soul searching in China… the girl was then run over by a second truck..

Controversy took place earlier this year after the United States killed Osama bin Laden and dumped his body into the sea: Immediately after, news broke that Hollywood was ready to make a film on the event.

Sony films originally pinpointed October 2012 for the release date--right before the presidential election!

Now, Nikki Finke, owner of DeadineHollywood, reports that Sony is pushing the date to later in '12 or even 2013.. that way, it avoids the controversy of impacting the presidential race.

Of course today, as Gaddafi died, perhaps another film is being planned.. release date.. who knows..

More dramatic video from OccupyWallStreet protesters: In this video, people were arrested at a New York City Citibank for the "crime"? of trying to close their accounts!

The dramatic video shows people in the bank being arrested and protesters outside on the streets giving quick and off the cuff legal advice, such as to get a lawyer, immediately..

Disturbing videos like this are being seen around the world today.. When America watched the rage in Egypt and Yemen, it was 'far away.' Now, the world is watching America....as police arrest citizens for closing bank accounts.

It's not Egypt. It's not Tunisia.. it's not Yemen. And it's not pretty. Last night, protesters from OccupyWallStreet had more than just chilly temperatures to deal with: Cops showed force with the use of horse..

The video is dramatic, and often language is not appropriate for children. But it's real, raw, and true: It was uploaded to the We Are Change YouTube channel. It shows cops on animal facing down protesters. Things got heated throughout the course of the video, with cops often closing in on people with horses.

Some comments say it's similar to the predicament protesters faced in Egypt during the summer riots in Cairo. While the New York City situation at this point is very different from the violent rage in the streets in the Middle East, it is clear that as the OccupyWallStreet protests continue, it is becoming a dicier situation and one with more tension and animosity between people and authorities..
